Is this a right explanation to this quote and what else can be added in terms of explaining this quote when referring to IRONY? Thanks for any help!
•Irony used upon Winston during his torture in the Ministry of Love (pg. 199)
◦“Their real weapon was the merciless questioning that went on and on hour after hour, tripping him up, laying traps for him, twisting everything that he said, convicting him at every step of lies and self-contradiction, until he began weeping as much from shame as from nervous fatigue.”
◾Doublethink removes the explanation of a contradiction and moves straight to the fallacy of what’s in favor of the Party.

He's weeping as much from shame as he is anything else? What is he ashamed of? Is there irony in that?
